“Winchester Cathedral” by the New Vaudeville Band in August, 1966 was an early British throwback to the old music halls. There were other notable musical tributes to the bygone era’s sound.
By Neil Innes from February, 1968.
By Paul McCartney from November, 1968.
By Freddie Mercury from November, 1975
I try to sustain a mostly buoyant tone in my posts, but I’ve been grappling with a difficult and stressful personal situation. Fifty years ago, during the craziness of adjusting to college life, I bought a record of Gregorian Chants. Listening to it on headphones helped to calm my nerves, so I’m going to give it a try today. Track 9, “College Runt”, is a favorite. 😉
When fully restored, I’ll follow that up with this musical meditation. See? Buoyancy!

About a week ago, I posted YouTube videos where the movement of an overly active musician playing a clarinet was audible in a recording. It was characterized as being a problem, but what if musical instruments flying around the room, even overhead, is done intentionally? Last night’s PBS NewsHour had this infomercial for Dolby Atmos.
